The judges get it right more often than not, but it takes time for them to do so - this is the "inertia" part of the equation. They do have a tendency to give certain corps the benefit of the doubt, but they pretty much always get it right by the end of the season (some may disagree with that). When (not if) Boston puts out a design and performance worthy of a title, the judges will recognize it and reward them for it. But getting to that point takes time and I think in today's environment, it's next to impossible for a corps to win the title without getting very close to it first I agree with Cappy on this point...even with the 2 year hiatus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon enough we will learn who has been chosen to be more magnificent, & who has been chosen to be less magnificent. I’m an impartial observer.

Cappybara Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 1 hour ago, Mello Dude said: But it shouldn't be. Well, as Phantom 2009 shows, the judges DO get it right by the end of the season. It's not that the judges will purposefully not give a deserving show 1st just because they haven't gotten close, it's just that with design being such a large focus in the scoring of today, it takes more than just a good performance from the performers to take the gold. It requires a stellar design and developing a stellar design is the thing that takes practice and time to learn to create. So the time factor is less that the judges are maliciously making corps "wait their turn," it's more that the current sheets force corps to create a strong and consistent design team with years of continuity that has had multiple (or atleast one) runs creating a stellar design before everything clicks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeffeory Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 The dangerous part for me is that I'll comment on the parts of shows I don't like as easily as the parts that I DO like. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
